Supports Brokerage
Supports Brokerage is a service available to people enrolled in the Community Care Program or Supports Program who are self-directing some or all of their services. Supports Brokerage services supplement but do not duplicate Support Coordination services.
A Supports Broker acts as the agent of the person or their family and can help them identify immediate and long-term needs, develop options to meet those needs, and access services. They can help the person or their family arrange for, direct, and manage services.
A full description of Supports Brokerage is found in Section 17.20 in the Community Care Program and Supports Program policy manuals.
